Please post about this in the Armor app forum:

Factory reset the RBR and setup from scratch. Use a wired PC or laptop connected to the RBR, Walk thru the setup wizard. When you get to the end of the wizard and complete it, Armor should present a window to enabled it or not.
Good Luck.

Thanks FURRYe38. Although not sure why in the Armor app because the Armor app is not sending me the notification, it comes from the Netgear Orbi app. But I will give it a shot. I also should have mentioned that I have been through resetting the Orbi, I do that after any update and bi-monthly anyway because unfortunately the firmware that Netgear pushes out is disgustingly buggy. I'm just waiting for UniFi to get their home mesh system ironed out so I can jump ship because Orbi has gotten to be more headache that any advantages it gives.
